You’ve heard it before. To keep the worst of winter blues at a distance, you’ve got to do
things that will lift your spirits. Not so easy when holiday bills are high, temperatures
are low, and the days are far too short. But it helps to consider that there may be an
abundance of warm glee glimmering just beneath the permafrost gloom. You do have
to take an active role in your own spirit-lifting, and it may become a habit you enjoy—
at the stove, in the gym or in bed (sleeping). Browse our suggestions for ways to shake
off the winter blahs, pause and sample, and don’t be stunned if they put a little spring
in your step.
CHANGE YOUR SCENERY
SAILING THE
SEAS WITH
CELEBRITY
CRUISES
Spend the summer months in the South Bay’s sublime summer climes,
stash your frequent flyer miles and sandbag your vacation time for the
winter months, when the chill sets in. Getaway cruises to sunny destinations
like Hawaii and Mexico are often priced to sell after the holidays.
Or if snow is kind of your fancy, escape to a relaxing rustic cabin or book
a trip to the slopes; Tahoe is a hop, skip and ski-jump away. Getting a
change of scenery in the winter can provide an exhilarating experience.
